Nimoy worked with “Fringe” creators J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman on this May’s upcoming reboot of “Star Trek.”

According to Michael Ausiello at EW, Nimoy’s Bell will have a single scene in the finale, but that he’ll be back next season for three additional episodes, an optimistic gesture that assumes FOX will pick up a second “Fringe” season.

Nimoy’s last TV guest appearance came in a 2001 episode of “Becker.”
